Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

Honor the legacy and contributions of Martin Luther King Jr. through a day of celebration and reflection. Enjoy multicultural performances, contribute to our community mural, try speech-making and more. 

Engage with community members and learn more about the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equity through artifact investigation, curator chats and videos highlighting Dr. King’s most iconic speeches as we reflect on what we can do to ensure Dr. King’s dream lives on. 

Visitors are encouraged to donate money to Gleaners via dip jars found at the museum.  

Free parking will be available in the White River State Park garage off Washington Street on a first-come, first-served basis.
